I did 20k this weekend

Consumed 20,000 calories, that is. Seriously.

I did go out and run last Wednesday, and it was painful, but I managed to run for 40 minutes straight. It's a good thing I am finally about to exercise again, because I seriously need to burn some calories. The wedding brunch we attended on Saturday featured all of the following dessert-type foods: doughnuts and cinnamon rolls; mini cheesecakes, cream puffs, lemon bars and eclairs; chocolate-dipped strawberries; several varieties of wedding cake (including boxed slices to take home for later); and a sundae bar with four flavors of ice cream from a locally famous maker. Not to mention a ton of non-dessert brunch food.

But that wasn't all. After arriving in Columbus on Thursday, we ate hearty Teutonic fare at a German sausage haus complete with awesome oompah-band entertainment (imagine accordion-and-tuba renderings of 50s pop hits, Disney musical numbers, and Led Zeppelin). And the rehearsal dinner on Friday featured large amounts of Italian food followed by drinking and a midnight trip to a Waffle House -- kind of a scary experience.

I feel like not eating for a week. Ugh.
